Absolutely the best dentist you will ever go to. No question.

by nycelle at Citysearch

The best. Dr. Oliva and his staff have taken one of life's less pleasant experiences and made it something to look forward to. Their dedication to friendly, personal and effective service is incredible. You're always greeted warmly, everyone knows who you are and what you need before you walk through the door. The cleanings are done on a massage table instead of a dentists' chair, you're given an eye pillow instead of glaring lights in your face, hot towels and soothing lip balm. Every comfort has been considered. On top of that he's a fantastic dentist. I've seen a remarkable improvement in how my teeth look and feel in just a year. I've never had these kinds of results with any other dentist.

I think Dr. Oliva and his staff should have an operation on the side showing people how to run their businesses. They've got it well figured out.

• Pros: Good dentistry, kind and considerate staff, great ambiance, helpful, comprehensive billing
• Cons: That you only get to go a few times a year.

Spa Dentistry - Brilliant Idea

by pinatubo at Citysearch

From the moment you walk into the office to when you leave refreshed and relaxed, Dr. Oliva's attention to detail is everywhere. The aromatherapy in the waiting room is only a harbinger of things to come. The very latest equipment is used in all dental work. You take your cleaning lying down on a spa bed, your eyes soothed with a cold compress, and optionally, a foot massage. Cleanings end with an innovative gum massage that not only feels good, it soothes inflammation and stimulates circulation. All this notwithstanding Dr. Oliva's charming chair-side manner and meticulous work. I'll never trust anyone else with my teeth.

• Pros: Central location, relaxing dentistry, great ambience, superior service
• Cons: The office is frequently busy, so book appointments early

Awesome

by MMC2008 at Citysearch

Let me start by saying that I don't hate many things - but I really HATE dentists...until I was introduced to Dr. Oliva and his staff. The entire staff is SUPER friendly; the equipment is state-of-the-art; the office is clean, modern and very spa-like and they even jave the most current (and my favorite gossip) magazines for you to read. Though, in all the times I've been there, I barely get to flip through a few pages before I get called in - they are the most punctual medical office EVER!! They do everything possible to put you at ease - and trust me, I need it with the anxiety I feel at dentists. They even were angels with my fiance who can be a pain-in-the-butt. The work that I've had done has been great. I feel much better about the health of my teeth and gums and my smile! All-in-all, the best place to get any dental work done.

• Pros: Professional work, Great staff, Spa-like office, Punctual

Friendly staff but most important professional knowledge all on a state of the art clinic. Very well organized I have never waited more than two minutes to see the doctor for an appointment

• Pros: The doctor always takes the time to explain in detail each step, what to expect and alternatives
• Cons: none

Best dentist in town!

by rfreeborn at Citysearch

Let me preface this with saying I HATED going to the dentist....before Dr. Sonny.

When I moved into NYC a few years ago I needed a new dentist - how in the world do you do that? I went of a friends recommendation and wow...was she right.

Dr. Sonny is simply one of the best (in every since of the word!) dentists that I've ever been to. He and his staff are both professional and pleasant. He and his staff simply have a way of explaining things and working with you that immediately put you at ease. From the "relaxation" room to how helpful the people at the front desk are - it's a 5 star operation the entire way.

By the way, what's the last time you didn't go to a dentist/doctor appointment where you weren't stuck waiting forever? That NEVER happens with Dr. Sonny - he's not jamming his schedule so that the day starts behind. He keeps a reasonable schedule and is always ready to get you into the seat right on time - and with the busy schedules we all have that is critical.

In summary, a consummate professional that manages a nice practice that treats patients like people, not a number....can't recommend him enough.

• Pros: pleasant from the moment you walk in the door and the mellow music relaxes
• Cons: none

I'm more at peace getting a root canal there than I am during most of my week. A great experience start to finish.

• Pros: Technology, Staff, Dentists
• Cons: none
